    Isabel earns $7.50 per hour on the weekends. Write and solve an inequality to find how many hours she needs to work to earn at least $120.

    A few things to note:
    • Earnings = Rate * time
    • Let h be the number of hours worked
    • The phrase at least means greater than or equal to, so we have the following inequality.
    We represent this with the following inequality:
    7.5h < 120

    To solve this inequality for h, we type it into our math engine and we get:
    h < 16
